I would like advice from ppl who've done long distance relationships successfully...?

I have met someone online whom I like very much and the feeling is mutual. (If it matters I am 26 and he's 29). I live in the midwest and he in the southwest, about 1600 miles apart. We met in person about a week ago when he came to the area to visit his family. We were very surprised to find out how attracted we were to each other, since we started out as friends and didn't have expectations beyond that. Our relationship continues to grow and we're both wondering what the next step is. I would like to hear from someone who's done this before...how often did you travel to see each other? How long did it take you to decide to live together? Who moved? Or did you find someplace halfway in between and both move?





I am just trying to consider every possibility, so really any well thought out answer would be appreciated.





Thank you VERY much....I would like advice from ppl who've done long distance relationships successfully...?
My bf and I are younger than you but we have been in a long distance relationship for 4 years now. We were 16 when we started dating, he lives in Germany and I live in California. We met an were togehter for about 9 months before he had to go back. Anyway, Long distance relationships take communication, trust and honesty. We vist eachother for about one month every year. We talk everyday and use webcams so we can see eachother. We send eachother letters, because they are more personal. They work, both of you just have to do the work required to make it last. Good luck :)I would like advice from ppl who've done long distance relationships successfully...?
My fiance lives in Germany, and I'm in NY - 4000 miles - I'm 28 and he's 29. We met on a bulletin board and became friends; after 6 months we became more of a couple, and three months later (July) he flew to the US and spent two weeks with me. That was when we decided he would move here eventually; I'm visiting him in Germany in January, and he's coming here again in March - as for the move, that will be when we get all the immigration stuff sorted out.





As you can see, it's a very different situation from yours; moving to a midpoint is out of the question, and so is me moving to Germany, because I have kids who visit my ex. We also probably moved a lot faster than most people do, but that's just how we are; and we can't see each other very often because of the expense.
I had a sucessful LDR. (if it matters I am 40 and still single)


We eventually started seeing other ppl.


We are still friends today but the relationship didn't last.


BUT that is not to say that it will happen to you. There must be some other reason you are asking this question because it doesn't matter how it worked out with other ppl. Your situation is unique. The very fact that you have to ask this question poses the possibility that you have your doubts. It would not be realistic to say, ';It'll work! Hang in there!';. This would have to come naturally and if it doesn't feel right then it probably won't work out but that doesn't mean you can't still be friends.





P.S. If there is no trust...there is no relationship.
this works yes, but you have to be patient
I was in Chicago, he was in England - we were married for ten years. It definitely CAN work.





I'd recommend getting a Skype account so you can talk to each other on the computer, or get coordinating cell phone plans so you don't get screwed with huge bills since you're dealing with different time zones. Travel together as often as you can and keep an open mind about where you'll end up living (if it comes to that). We settled on Minneapolis.





Unfortunately he fell very ill - three years gone. But now I'm with *another* guy doing the long distance relationship, this time he's in Afghanistan. We're expecting our first baby next year.





Just focus on the positive and you can get through anything if the relationship is strong enough.
Contrary to popular belief...long distance relationships can work..trust me..I have been in one. The effort has to be made from both sides.





You said that you both have already met..so thats a start. Don't hold back your feelings for him..Just because of the distance. In my case..the distance actually helped us know each other better and believe it or not..brings us closer..literally. We usually use to meet somewhere halfway...and spent quality time with each other.





We tried to meet every week or every other week...until we decided to move in...and in my case..my gf moved in to my state and lives in with me. She had the option to transfer her job..so that kinda helped.





Long distance relationships can work...Just hang in there.
My fiancee and I started going out in July of '05, and he still had 1 and a half yrs of college left.





here I was at home, working my *** off, and he was at college. we had to call eachother probably 3 times a day just to keep our sanity. Meeting in the summer and having things so hot and heavy and constant, then not being able to see eachother was sooooooo hard. I often times just cried myself to sleep because I missed him so much, and he'd call me in the middle of the night and you could hear the whimpering in his voice.





when we finally saw eachother on the weekends (or every other weekend), we just hugged and kissed eachother's brains out. It felt so good to know that he missed me just as bad as I did him, and that he loves me so much.





you just have to keep the relationship alive when you can't see eachother. call eachother, write letters, send pictures, have phone sex...it takes a lot of work to not give up and just say, ';screw it, I'm moving on!';





It takes a lot of courage, a lot of trust, and a hell of a lot of patience. but look at us now...we're living together and are so happy to be together everyday!
Long distance can work! Mine wasn't as far away as your - we were about 2 hrs/115miles or so away. We also met online (we were both 21). We talked online for about 4 months before we decided to meet, and once we did we knew it was made to be. We took every chance we could to visit eachother. We took turns travelling and sometimes we would even meet halfway and stay with friends or whatever. It worked out so well, we moved in together this past March and we have now been together for 16 months. We sort of knew it was going to work between us and we had started talking about moving in together very early in the relationship - he moved to my city because I had the better job at the time. I was originally going to move with him to a completely different state than both of our home towns because he had a contract to work for a hospital, but it fell through. I think the way to do it is just to seek out what would be the best interests of you both - job-wise, does one need to be closer to their families for medical reasons, connection to their town/city, etc.





Best wishes to you both, if it's meant to be, it will work!! :)

What advice have you for me about what makes a long distance relationship last?

Anything you have, especially previous experience, would be appreciated, thank you.What advice have you for me about what makes a long distance relationship last?
Keep in touch daily. If large phone bills are a concern, send e-mail, letters, cards and even faxes.


Plan reunions to keep both of you pleased about the relationship. If your partner needs closeness, set up plans to meet often. Having a date to look forward to can help you through the rough times.


Reaffirm your love and commitment to one another. Try not to assume that the relationship is thriving. Listen to your partner's concerns and communicate your own before they become bigger problems.


Keep your partner informed about your life. You may live separately, but sharing information about your activities and friends is still important.


Trust in one another. Suspicion will only break the relationship down.


Keep the relationship a high priority. Avoid canceling reunions or putting off a phone call.


Focus on the future. Make plans to live in the same city eventually.What advice have you for me about what makes a long distance relationship last?
It is as simple as moderation. You will both be eager to tell your stories and hear the others. Imperfections that would cause frustrations are not exchanged or accumulated. This always a test that a couple should take after they have really gotten to know each other. If you can maintain a long distance relationship, with only love and no intimacy, after knowing all of the other person's short comings, then maybe this is the person for you. I have a friend that lives a few hundred miles away, we barely ever talk to one another but I love he so much that I litterray can feel her. I know when her moods change, when she is in pain, or when something bad is happening to anyone around her. If you know there is more to this world than what we see, distance means nothing.
Constant, steady and regular communication by all source such as letters, emails, telephones that shares not just events and information but also inner states of being as it is at a given moment would help nurture it.Getting a personal meet now and then, jealously working for it, would boost the relationship or even cement it firm.
Me and my fiancee lived in different countries for over a year. We communicated every day through the internet. We both use gtalk and went online when we woke up. We chatted every chance we got but even when we could not chat because we were busy it was soothing to see the ';green dot'; next to each other's name, it meant that he was there and if I talked to him I would get an instant reaction, it felt like he was very close even though there were thousands of miles between us :) it was mostly psycological.


We spoke over the phone 1-2 times a week, we would have talked more if it was cheaper this is why I'm soo glad we were born during the age of the Internet. :)





He would come to visit me every month or I would go and visit him and when that happened we always arranged something special for each other and had a great time.


It wasn't easy, there were times that I missed him a lot and he missed me but we knew that the being apart was temporary until the conditions met for us to be together, and that gave us strength and patience. Mainly we had to decide which of us would quit their job, house and life as we knew it and move to the other person's country. Eventually he did.





Now we are living together and are doing fine, we are very close and in love. :)


My message to you is that, if the other person is the One, it won't matter if you see him everyday or every month, the bond you have will defy the distance of miles. If it doesn't work out, I don't think it would work out even if you lived in the same building.


All my best x
make sure you talk to them on the phone everyday. you also have to be more loving and caring than you normally would be so that your partner wont have and doubt that you are looking elsewhere. and you guys neeeeed to be completely honest with eachother.
keep talking with them on regular basis by email by text by phone open your heart to them they will know that you are sincere, compassionate and kind.

Long Distance/Online Relationship advice?

Ok I met this guy online and we met for the first time this weekend. There was no awkwardness when we met for the first time at the airport or anytime during which he was here. In fact, I felt like I had known him all my life and it was really nice to be around him. Anyway, so today we were talking and he wants me to transfer to a college up north so we can be closer together. Only problem is it will be freezing up there and I hate cold weather, oh and my tuition will be 3 times what it is now. He said if I don't do that he will do his best to transfer to a university down here. What should I do, transfer to a school up there or let him come down here?Long Distance/Online Relationship advice?
well me and my boyfriend are in a long distance relationship and we have been going out for 2yrs and 4 months now and I tried living where he lived but it didnt work out so I came back home in my opinion its extremely hard to keep up w relationships like the one Im in but if u feel like u connect then go for it but think about things like getting a job over there cuz thats what Im doing right now so I can go and live w him now but its toughLong Distance/Online Relationship advice?
If it is easier for him to transfer to where you are, than it is for you to transfer to him, then i think you should let him go to your area....
IF he really likes you then he should respect your decision and he should come down to you.
let him come down there but heads up, it rarely works out. good luck.
it's better to let him to come to your place.
Explain to him about the cost - dont mention about the weather as hell feel that you cant be bothered - if the weathers too much trouble.....


Dont say either about liking your school as it shows you prefer yourt school to him.


Expplain about substantial reasons, cost, family support, He shouold move nearer to you if anything. But why not leave it for a while, youve only met once. leave it a year or so and grow a strong foundation to your relationship. Who knows, you may transfer to a school together if thats possible.
Let him transfer to your place.


Dont chase boy, let him chase you :D

Anyone have any advice for long distance relationship.?

My best advice is to only get into that if you have a long term plan, e.g. in one year we麓ll move to X city.. or in two years, let麓s travel together... or in six months one of us will move to the other麓s city, etc.





Don麓t do it without having a direction or the intention to one day be in the same place.





You can answer my question if you like ; ) :

Well,for one long distance relationships don't last long for some people,cause some can lose intrest in that person,dued to not talking and seeing him/her in person. Beleive it or not,seeing him/her in person brings more of a stronger bond to relationships.,But,then on the long run you start to get too curious on his/her trustfulness in a long distance relationship and which leads to assumptions.Anyone have any advice for long distance relationship.?
I've been in a long distance relationship for 3 years (due to both our jobs, which are both way too lucrative to leave at this point. We do have plans to transfer but are taking small steps. We see each other 1 or 2 weeks a month, we live about 5 hours away from each other.) and am living proof that they can %26amp; do work, but only if you BOTH put forth the effort and really truly honestly want the relationship to work.





Obviously the phone is a huge connector. If you both have busy schedules, pick a time where you both have free time and can actually talk without being interrupted. Ask about the small things. How their day was, anything exciting happening with work, new stories about their crazy roommates, ANYTHING! Just talk. Texting helps a lot too, it fills in those times you can't actually be on the phone and makes you feel like they are still there.


No matter what you are going to have to either learn to trust them, or the relationship will fail hands down. Talk about everything, how you are nervous about investing your emotions into a relationship that might not last, state your boundaries (is it okay for them to go out for a drink with a co-worker of the opposite sex, etc...). Tell them exactly what you are feeling and thinking. Open communication is the biggest thing! Is this someone you could see yourself being with forever? Do you really want to commit and invest a lot of time, effort, emotion, and hardship to this person who lives so far away? If this person is someone you could see yourself with for a long time, do you have plans to eventually move closer %26amp; create a life together? Would your life or their life permit that? Those are the questions I asked myself early on to determine whether or not long distance relationship was worth it. Make sure that you are getting what you want/need too. NEVER put in more than you are getting out. A relationship is 50/50 and needs TWO people to work.








When you do get to be with them in person again, make the most of every minute you get together. Make sure neither of you have any other priorities or plans. Do something special, just the 2 of you. Alternate who comes to see who. Reassure each other that while you're away, you are being faithful and miss them so much.





You can also write each other letters and send things to each other.


For our 1 year anniversary I sent my husband a long hand written letter, a fleece blanket I made myself %26amp;t ons of pictures of us together. When you're in a long distance relationship, its the little things that matter and mean SO much more. In a normal relationship, you take those things for granted because you see that person more often.





I wish you all the best of luck. Long distance relationships are definitely stressful at times and very tough, but are also very rewarding and a huge learning experience.
They work. I'm in one right now, and it's going fine. The thing that's most important is keeping in touch. My girlfriend and me made it a rule that we talk at least once, usually twice a day for about an hour. The biggest thing, if I could go back in time, that I would do is lay out specific rules with what your comfortable with. For example, I went for a walk alone with a girlfriend the first week and it kicked up a lot of jealousy and then she watched a movie alone with some guy in his room and that sparked an argument. Now we have a rule that we can't hang out alone with members of the opposite sex. Be very clear on your comfort boundries and don't play games and you should be fine.
-First actually get to know them more than they know them selves


-listen what they say...and don't ignore it


-Get to be with them probably like 24/7 and if she doesnt like it stop and do it for some days...


-agree what she says, unless you actualy agree


-When you guys are really close, tell her that you love her...more than the stars are above you guys...


-And if she says it back, you got her where you want her...


-and if she disagrees you a lil to much, theres no hope...
Try to keep the communication going and see where it goes. Usually it takes very committed people to one another to do the long distance thing. It works but it is a lot of hard work and time.
I have to agree with everyone else. Unless you live in the Arctic or a leper colony, find someone else or move back to wherever your friend lives. If you can't get there easily every weekend, move on. There are plenty of people out there.
yes. i have been in 2.





they normally don't end up working put unless you can see each other once in a while, dont get over prtective u need trust but make sure he/she isnt cheeting. talk on the phone a lot
Talk on the the phone often, email often, get a webcam and try to visit each other as much as possible.
tell your partner what they want to hear!!


i started a long distance relationship with my current girlfriend around 2 years ago.
If your serious about the person then don't cheat on them.


Stay in contact - write letters, e-mail, text, phone


Get web-cams %26amp; maybe microphones.
Talk more than texting. Visit each other often. Stay faithful....and if you need sex or whatever have phone sex.
Don't have one the other


person always cheats


cause no one is there to


hold them


accountable
Be open and honest, and talk on the phone... it will never be easy but if it was meant to be then you'll work it out.
Talk and text a lot, get webcams, and be faithful!
Sorry Don't Work but otherwise alot of TRUST
bad idea.
they simple dont work
don't leave the house because u will cheat.
i wouldnt do it

Warning: Very Long: Business, Love, Long Distance Relationship..... Need advice badly on how to deal?

Hi everyone! Im 22 and the guy that im in a long distance relationship with is 23. I live in Pittsburgh, and he lives in Seattle.





We have been together for 2 1/2 months. We met each another last month for the first time. He was suppose to be visiting this weekend from thrusday-sunday. He's been talking about starting a business for awhile now.





Well we made plans a month ago after his last visit that we would visit each anothor at the end of every month.





Just to let you know how our relationship is we talk everyday text alot durning the day, he always tells me when he is on his way to when he gets to work and when he is on his way home and when he gets home. Whenever he texts me to see how im doing or something he always puts the word baby somewhere in his text to me. He always says goodnight to.





This past Sunday he was pretty busy from what he told me. Which is fine. I was having family crisis over here and i wanted nothing but to talk to him. He was playing phone tag between me and his little sister who lives in Texas. Everytime i called he was on the phone with her and everytime she called he was on the phone with me. I dont have a problem with him being active with his family but at that moment i really needed him. So the last time i was on the phone with him that night i was really upset and in the middle of the convo his sister beeped in and i said do you want me to let you go and he said are you ok and i said ill be fine but i was hoping he would stay on the phone with me cuz you could just tell i was really upset but he said ok and went off to talk to his sister without thinking twice about it. I just didnt want to get in the middle of him and his family so i just let it go.





Now Monday night i was having another family crisis with a family member who lived in New York. One of my family members got shot(there ok now) but i told him and he wasnt very comforting towards me. He said he couldnt give me his full attention cuz he was doing some paperwork. So once again i just let it go. I just went off to bed. So him and i both said our goodnights like usual. I found out the next day he told me that his sister called him around 3 his time from texas and they talked....





Well Tuesday i didnt hear a word from him all day. I waited til about 3pm my time to see how he was doing. I didnt get a word back from him til about 6 or 7 that night my time. He said he was at irs opening his business and getting his business license and all the tax stuff to get his business opened. I told him he should have told me that morning so i didnt bug him. He said he was sorry. That night he also told me that he wasnt going to be able to make it here this trip. He said he was very sorry and would come asap. He said he had to start business class on thruday. We talked that night about everything that happend with him that day. I fell asleep durning our texting. He always will text goodnight if i dont text him back due to falling asleep. That night he never texted me it.





Wednesday never got a goodmorning or nothing. He texted me tell me he was his way to work. I talked to him before he started work. Thoughtout the day he wasnt very talkactive to me like he usually was. I told him to call me after work cuz i could tell there was something was wrong. At the end of his work all i got was a text that said ';Hey whats up';. I called him and we talked. I dont know why he didnt call me or anything. We talked for awhile on the phone. He was once again he was not talkactive. Ususally he is talking my ear off. He got home and we went to met online to talk like we usually do. He im's ';whats up'; its always ';hey baby'; or ';whats up baby'; but no its was just ';whats up';. We talk alot online but last night it was very short and very few words were said. I tryed explaining how i was feeling and that i was really upset. He wasnt very comforting towards me once again. I asked him what he was doing he said ';shopping for insurance online'; he also talked to me about ';he needs to go thought with this 100% or it wont work'; it was just very few words said about his reasons about the ';business';. So around 1 my time he said im going off to bed cuz he was very tired and he had to wake up early at 9 his time to be at class. So we said our goodnights and went off to bed.





This morning i wake up about 11:30 my time and didnt see once again no goodmornings or nothing, didnt tell me he was on his way to class or nothing. I waited til 11:50 my time to text him. I texted him ';goodmorning baby i love you i wish you luck in class today'; he texted back and said '; thank you i love you'; I sent him one last time saying ';I love you to, i want my boyfriend back. Thats all iv heard from him today. Its now 2:45pm my time.





I feel my heart is breaking. Every few mins i get all teary eyed. Iv been crying alot and trying to find ways to just reach out to him and to let him know im still here and that i stand by his side no matter what.





I wanna send him an email about how im feeling and make it a very heart touching letter. Iv tryed talking on the phone with him about how i feel and what im going thought, but i get all choked up and i just lose my track of mind. I cant reach out to my ';boyfriend';. He is not acting himself.





I just need advice on how to make a really good touchy letter and how to start it off and how to end it. Its the only way i can get it all out there for him without texting all of it.





I love this man with all my heart and i know we can make it though this. Ill be starting my classes up for Ultrasound Techanican in Jan. So we wll both be very busy with me going to school and him with his business.





We know we are soulmates. We are very connected. I know he feels the same. I trust him 100%! No doubt in my mind he is the one for me.





Has anyone else been thought something like this before? and if so how did you handle all of it?





I just need really good advice on how to deal.





Thank YouWarning: Very Long: Business, Love, Long Distance Relationship..... Need advice badly on how to deal?
This question is like Deja Vu to me. I also at one point lived in Pittsburgh and I met my Husband to be over the phone at work who lived in Texas. We hit it off from the first converstaion and had to make the long distance thing work for about 4 months. I can understand your pain with the separation because it is a very hard thing to deal with. Just remember that even though you guys are in love and enjoy talking to eachother a lot, daily life still has to go on. He is still going to get busy with things and have his daily things that he needs to do. I wouldnt take that personally.





Just take things slowly and be very open and honest with how you are feeling about things. I had my moments when i would feel nervous if I hadnt talked to my fiance' or something like that, but it always worked out.





We've been together now or 2 years, I relocated to where he lived and we're getting married in October..





Dont worry, it will work out. Just be open and honest about your feelings.





Good luck!!Warning: Very Long: Business, Love, Long Distance Relationship..... Need advice badly on how to deal?

    I am 17 in florida and shes 15 in california. We talk and get along fine nothing horrible. My parents like her and want us to be together. The problem is her parents don't like me. They only let us talk on the phone so she doesn't give them much trouble and can use the threat of taking it away to get her to do things. We have been together for 3 years now. We have tried talking to them but they just won't listen and keep saying were to young. I know we are but how are we to expericene life if they dont give a chance? any advice?Long distance relationship problem need advice?
    The age thing shouldn't be an excuse. Me and my bf were 16 when we started our long distance relationship and we have been together for 4 years now. My parents didn't think that me and my bf would last so they didn't think much about it either but visiting was a big thing that made them realize that we were serious about being together. Maybe you can plan a trip to California with your fam so that you both can meet at a neutral place, doesnt' have to be her house. Another thing you can try is to send her a DVD or VHS and let her see you, or better idea try a webcam on your computer so that you can talk and see eachother.Long distance relationship problem need advice?
    If you have never been together face to face, then you have never been together at all.... get it?


    You need to give it a rest until she is at least 17 or 18 years of age depending on California law. Once she is an adult she can do/go anywhere she wants until then your SOL.


    What did you do to piss off her parents????


    Just keep experiencing life the way you are now on-line and over the phone and guess what? You can even send her a real life letter in the mail with a stamp and everything when she is grounded from the phone.
    dont tell her parents anything about it, and just sneak off

    my boyfriend lives in belgium and i live in the us .... is there any way that this will work? im 16 and he is 18?I need some advice about a long distance relationship?
    If both sides are committed then yes it might work. But looking at the age, it is quite hard, considering you are still a teenager, and also the distance, it is really hard. Your thoughts will change when you grow up more and I don't think this will last. Also, considering you might not see him anytime soon, because you are in different countries.





    I mean, I am having a long distance relationship with my boyfriend right now, he is in US and I am far halfway around the world - but he comes in summer, and I will see him soon - it is different. I live in his original hometown but he is in US just for studying - and will be back when he's done and also during breaks. See the difference?





    Besides, age matters when it comes to this, I am 20 and he is 23.





    But I wish you the best of luck nevertheless.I need some advice about a long distance relationship?
    im currently in a long distance relationship and its great,im about to move in with him,but he lives in tx and i live in sc,but what im trying to say is,if one of u and gonna be willing to move to where the other is one day then it could possibly work,u have to be able to handle stress though cause it gets very stressful
    My boyfriend lives in Tennessee and I live in Michigan, it gets extremely stressful sometimes, but if you really do care about each other and lvoe each other it's worth it in the end. The thing that really makes long distance relationships work is trust though, if you don't trust each other to stay faithfull then the relationship will never work out.
    u guys could make it work my brother's been with his girl for almost a year they have the same age difference as you guys and she lives about a six hour drive i know its nothing compared to belgium but as long as u trust him and he trusts u then you'll be fine! =) good luck!
    distance is not a big matter to worry abt ....


    i live in india and my girl lives in singapore.....so wat....


    ter r enough ways of communication 2 keep in touch.....


    just continue ur fruitfull relationship okay....


    just feel like hez near 2 u ,,,slepin wit u,,,,,always tink tat hez wit u...


    trust me it helps a lot...
    me and my hubby started off on a long distance relationship. we dated for almost a year before we married. he used to come to see me on the weekends. but it worked. so yes, it is possible.
    i dont think it will work unless you commit to visit him. If it was in us/canada it could work. But most LDR dont work because its SOOOO FAR AWAY. unless you visit them oftenly.
    its not going to work and its only going to bring stress on you.
    where there is a will there is a way.so proceed .all the best

    Well! First you should call her every night or whenever she is available. But dont call her all day.....that gets kinda creepy. And you should send her stuff! I dont mean you have to buy her love, but if you just send her a little e-mail everyday to tell her how you are doing and to ask about her, that would be REALLY cool. You could also do some surprise visits! Those are always fun, but you should talk to whoever she is around and ask when she will just be sittin around doing nothing, you dont want to just come over and she is doing something important. AND you can also tell her every single day that you love her. Leave a message if you have to! But make sure to tell her!Advice please long distance relationship?
    You could call her when you know she isn't going to answer and leave a sweet message on her voicemail or answering machine saying that you're thinking of her. Send her e-cards, they don't have to be all lovey-dovey, I really enjoy the dorky love ones. They seem to mean more. Just be sure that you let her know that she's the one for you and let her know often! Good Luck!

    My guy and I live in different continents. It sure is tiring and doesn't get any easier but instead of being someone who lives in the same apartment with me or anyone else in the world, I would choose my guy, he's the one I love and believe me, finding this is not easy.





    Long distance relationships may and may not work just like any other relationship. I can give you thousands of examples to show it can indeed work. Johnny Depp was living in US when he met his longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis (she was living in France). Kate Bosworth was living in US, Orlando Bloom was living in England when the two dated for 4 years. I can go on and on. It's all about who you are and your partner. The key of a good relationship is not thinking (and worrying) about the future. You'll, of course, think, it's human nature but don't take your thoughts too seriously and not focus on them.





    The last time I saw my guy was the last August. Thanks to technology we talk on a daily basis and have phone%26amp;cyber sex. I was getting jealous of him and creating cheating-related scenarious in my head in the first months. But then I thought, guys are hitting on me all the time, there are very hot guys around me but all I think about and care is MY GUY. He feels the same way. Give yourself some time, let your girlfriend earn your trust.Any advice for long distance relationship?
    its hard to keep it going and eventually fizzles out.
    don't wory if she drink . maybe she fell good but you must be carefully with her.say her stop drink.take care of your self
    Don't have one. They never work. I have had a hard enough time maintaining a relationship living an hour apart.

But really i do, i guess im just not good at showing it. What can i Do to change this. How can i show him i appreciate him and care.. We're in long distance relationship so it is gonna be hard to show him, we talk everyday over the phone. THe point is I DONT WANT TO LOOSE HIM.


    He such a good guy. and had catered to all my needs, what can i do to prove to him that i DO Appreciate him and care, besides telling him i love him everyday cause i already do that.

    talk is cheap......guys need physical too; and you cannot provide that.





    you should try and get webcams together and see what happens
    Talking is great, but you can't touch it. Try sending him a card once a week, try super cheesy cards that will make him laugh and maybe once a month send him a small gift. Something for a few bucks that just lets him know, I saw this keychain, silly toy, book, whatever and thought of you. It is a good way to show him that even though you are not together, he is always in your thoughts.





    Writing to each other can add so much to a relationship because you can hold it and reread it when you are thinking about that person.





    I wish you the best!
    if both of you have pic messaging plans you should make something really cute for him and send him a pic of it with a long message about how you feel about him (:
    honestly i dont think you can show him anymore. if you say you love him every day and phone each other constantly thats all you can do. try arranging meet ups and sending prezzies. itll last as long as you both want it to xx
    You should post your question here:

  • Breaking up in a serious/long distance relationship-- serious advice only.?

    Me and my boyfriend of over four years have decided to split. We are in a long distance relationship so it hurts even more because i know I might never see him again. It is really hard because he was my first boyfriend and I have never experienced a break-up before. Not only was he my boyfriend, but also my best friend, and the reason we broke up is because he stopped calling me frequently, and when I checked our phone bill I saw he was making late night calls to another girl, who lives very close to him.





    When I confronted him about it he claimed she was just a friend and he was helping her through a rough patch. But I didn't understand how you could talk to another girl for four hours on the phone each night when you claim you have no time for me. I really wanted to believe him, so we didn't talk for three days to figure things out. Then three days later I was expecting him to want to take a longer break to figure things out, but he just wanted to break up for good. He also said that there is a chance we could get back together, but it feels as if he already has found someone else, the girl he has been calling. I am confused and I don't know what to do.





    I really want to call the girl and ask her what's up but that is stalkerish but its just killing me not knowing if they are getting together since they live so close together, and I don't want to sit and wait around for him if he already has gotten over me and is just saying that to make me feel better. =[Breaking up in a serious/long distance relationship-- serious advice only.?
    Long distance relationship is never easy, what more if it's a serious one. I should know coz I was in one not very long ago. And yes, there was also another girl involved. I asked him about her but he said that 'she was just a friend and that he's helping her through some rough patch' - sound familiar? Anyways, I decided to let it go and went on with the relationship with my guy, believing in him when he said that the girl was and will never be a threat to our relationship. Then out of the blue one day, I got a text message from the girl telling me that my guy was very sick and that she's worried about him and asked me to talk to my guy about going to see the doctor as she tried telling him but he wouldn't listen to her. I flipped. How was it that she knew about him being sick and I didn't???? I called him up and blasted his head off - first for giving my number to the girl, and secondly for keeping me in the dark about his health. We had a huge fight but worked things out at the end. However, the girl kept sending me text messages about him and each time she did that, she was like trying to let me know that she knows hell of alot more about my guy than I did. I was confused for a long time and it was wearing me out. Finally, I called the girl and had a heart to heart/woman to woman talk with her to find out what's really going on between them and that's when she told me that she and my guy had been friends for a long time and that they love each other to bits but somehow they can't decide whether they want to be with each other or not. After talking to her, I called up my guy and had a heart to heart talk with him. I came clean about calling the girl and told him what she said. Part of me wanted him to deny but part of me wanted to hear the truth. My heart broke when I heard the truth. The girl didn't lie to me. As painful as it was, I knew what I had to do. I broke up with him. It took me a long time to get over the pain but now I'm completely healed and more important, I'm happy.


    For your own peace of mind, go and find out for sure. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worse. Good luck hun!Breaking up in a serious/long distance relationship-- serious advice only.?
    LDR's are not easy and the majority of them do fail. Do not hold the other girl responsible. She may have started out being a friend to him and his feelings changed. Since she is closer, he has fallen for him. Let him go. Prove you are better off with out him and find someone closer to where you are. Time will heal you and you will find someone else.
    Time will heal the pain. I know it's hard. Take your time to get over it and then move on. There are plenty of men out there that will treat you right.
    Sorry after four years you deserve better he's not being fair on you and he's being cruel keeping you hanging on.Deep down you know its over if you get back with him now It wont last you''ll be eaten up with jealousy it's killing you now.Get even get dressed get your hair done and get out don't be the victim be a survivor.
    this break up is really for the best...although it may not seem like it right now because you are hurting..





    relationships are hard enough to maintain as it is..to add another factor (distance) makes it even tougher...we are designed to want to be with someone (companionship) so its only natural to want to be with someone that you can see regularly as opposed to every once in a while...





    unfortunately you are gonna have to endure the pain of this break up until you are better again...i wouldn't get involved with anyone else right now until you are completely over your ex...the next person will only be a rebound and after a while in that relationship you will realize you are really not feeling him he was just around for comfort








    btw...i know it will be hard but try your best not to contact him (phone, text message, email, etc..) or allow him to contact you..it will only give you false hopes of getting back together ..dont allow him to play games with you as far as saying you all can get back together when its really not happening...
    you should take a look at some of my questions because we kinda went threw the same thing my boifriend went 2 the army and i didnt see him for 4 months then for 6 an one day we where txtin an he was like he cant take it not being able 2 spend time wit me so we seperated i was hurt at first but now its like well ok find someone else an try 2 b a good girlfriend now me an till this day me an him still talk and are still good friends............So maybe itll will work out where as though yall do get back 2gether or stay good friends good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    pain will be there for sure. but dont be emotional.Think of all the bad things that this guy had done to you in past 4 yr .


    i have breakup just 14 days ago with my long distnace gf.she got another bf .


    i said to myself that i will not be a loser by crying for that girl.Just think of the situation in the last 4 yrs where u felt hurt by this guy .trust me it worked for me :)

    It is all going to come down to the strength of your love . If you two are really and truly in love , you will make it work . It will be very hard , I can promise you that , and 3 years is a really long time ..For some it's works and others it does not . Good luck to you and I hope you make the right decision ..What do you think of long distance relationship? any advice?
    Usually it doesnt workout becuz usually that person will end up being with someone else becuz yrs is a long time. U can have like a picture chat where u can see eachother and talk to eachother by that way.. but i dont know how well the long distance relationship is gonna work..








    Good luck though!
    I don't believe in them. Why doesn't he move with you or you stay here for him? Because you are not ready to commit. It's not going to last.
    Relationships need a physical aspect involved. A long distance relationship might work for the time being, but in the long-run if you are not close; the relationship will end.
    drop long distance, go for the BOSS
    you can try it but i'll tell you now that you will both be curious of other people while your away from each other. unless you are the most loyal person on the planet and you borfriend is the second most loyal person, it probably wont work. and if he says he didnt cheat on while you were away, he might be right and i dont know if he really will but you should be able to tell if he's lieing or not. good luck with you boyfriend and your job.
    I don't why people keep putting in their minds that long distance relationship can't work. A lot of people have their minds set that way and don't leave any space to be open to something new. I would not advise you to give up your relationship just because of time and distance, for time goes by faster than you may think, and you might really lose a love you will not find anywhere else. This is what I believe: If you really love each other and want to spend the rest of your lives together, distance can't be a problem. It all depends on whether your relashionship has a solid basis. You need to might an efficient way to communicate and plan times to meet during the year.
    IF you have a choice to not go, don't go. If you have to go Can your boyfriend come with ya? Have a discussion with your boyfriend does he want to marry you someday. If so, he will wait for ya. But, don't be suprised if some other girl comes along and might sweep him off his feet. Cuz when you are apart that long, you get lonely and wonder if the other person still feels the same way. IF a girl is there pursuing him and you are not, there is a chance it might throw a crowbar in to your relationship. Longdistance relationships can work but are hard. are you going to visit often, talk everyday on the phone?
    yes they do work out if both of you work to maintain your relationship!!if you share true and deep feelings then being apart will be difficult but the relationship will survive - talk together and really commit to making it through, have him visit you and talk all the time,





    i have been away from my guy over a year...we visit lots but our relationship is very strong and committed...it feels like he is always here with me :o) we will be married in april so we have made it and are very happy...its all about believing in what you share and wanting to make it work and overcome all obstacles...





    take the job and look forward to an exiting oppertunity! good luck!
    The main thing you need to have in a long distance relationship is trust. If you and your partner trust eachother completely, and maybe even moreso, you trust yourselves, things should be ok. But moving to another country? That probably means that there will be little chance to see each other? Thats going to be the tough part...





    Either way, good luck!


    ~BB~
    yea they work but it depends on u guys because if u guys ';love'; each other it wont end with a ';brack up'; though u should mabe try to visit him so he dosnt feal lonely but i kinda 50-50 belive in long distance relationships
    Long distance relationships don't work in the long run
    ahh go with what makes you happy


    if that job makes you happy go..


    dont wait around for a guy or put your


    dreams on hold for a guy .. if it meant to be


    it will happen.. there no rush if you do leave and


    you break up you will find a guy when the time


    is right .. %26lt;3 best of luck
    if you can keep your job here, I would suggest you stayed. I've been in a few long distance relationships.


    The shortest one lasted was one day.


    The longest is 8 or 9 months. Can't remember.


    But yeah, long distances usually turn bad at some point. Not always though.


    Decide whats more important. The transfer or your boyfriend.
    truthfully I've been in one it isn't really a good idea unless you can trust that person enough to do it.

    Warning: Very Long: Business, Love, Long Distance Relationship..... Need advice badly on how to deal?

    Hi everyone! Im 22 and the guy that im in a long distance relationship with is 23. I live in Pittsburgh, and he lives in Seattle.





    We have been together for 2 1/2 months. We met each another last month for the first time. He was suppose to be visiting this weekend from thrusday-sunday. He's been talking about starting a business for awhile now.





    Well we made plans a month ago after his last visit that we would visit each anothor at the end of every month.





    Just to let you know how our relationship is we talk everyday text alot durning the day, he always tells me when he is on his way to when he gets to work and when he is on his way home and when he gets home. Whenever he texts me to see how im doing or something he always puts the word baby somewhere in his text to me. He always says goodnight to.





    This past Sunday he was pretty busy from what he told me. Which is fine. I was having family crisis over here and i wanted nothing but to talk to him. He was playing phone tag between me and his little sister who lives in Texas. Everytime i called he was on the phone with her and everytime she called he was on the phone with me. I dont have a problem with him being active with his family but at that moment i really needed him. So the last time i was on the phone with him that night i was really upset and in the middle of the convo his sister beeped in and i said do you want me to let you go and he said are you ok and i said ill be fine but i was hoping he would stay on the phone with me cuz you could just tell i was really upset but he said ok and went off to talk to his sister without thinking twice about it. I just didnt want to get in the middle of him and his family so i just let it go.





    Now Monday night i was having another family crisis with a family member who lived in New York. One of my family members got shot(there ok now) but i told him and he wasnt very comforting towards me. He said he couldnt give me his full attention cuz he was doing some paperwork. So once again i just let it go. I just went off to bed. So him and i both said our goodnights like usual. I found out the next day he told me that his sister called him around 3 his time from texas and they talked....





    Well Tuesday i didnt hear a word from him all day. I waited til about 3pm my time to see how he was doing. I didnt get a word back from him til about 6 or 7 that night my time. He said he was at irs opening his business and getting his business license and all the tax stuff to get his business opened. I told him he should have told me that morning so i didnt bug him. He said he was sorry. That night he also told me that he wasnt going to be able to make it here this trip. He said he was very sorry and would come asap. He said he had to start business class on thruday. We talked that night about everything that happend with him that day. I fell asleep durning our texting. He always will text goodnight if i dont text him back due to falling asleep. That night he never texted me it.





    Wednesday never got a goodmorning or nothing. He texted me tell me he was his way to work. I talked to him before he started work. Thoughtout the day he wasnt very talkactive to me like he usually was. I told him to call me after work cuz i could tell there was something was wrong. At the end of his work all i got was a text that said ';Hey whats up';. I called him and we talked. I dont know why he didnt call me or anything. We talked for awhile on the phone. He was once again he was not talkactive. Ususally he is talking my ear off. He got home and we went to met online to talk like we usually do. He im's ';whats up'; its always ';hey baby'; or ';whats up baby'; but no its was just ';whats up';. We talk alot online but last night it was very short and very few words were said. I tryed explaining how i was feeling and that i was really upset. He wasnt very comforting towards me once again. I asked him what he was doing he said ';shopping for insurance online'; he also talked to me about ';he needs to go thought with this 100% or it wont work'; it was just very few words said about his reasons about the ';business';. So around 1 my time he said im going off to bed cuz he was very tired and he had to wake up early at 9 his time to be at class. So we said our goodnights and went off to bed.





    This morning i wake up about 11:30 my time and didnt see once again no goodmornings or nothing, didnt tell me he was on his way to class or nothing. I waited til 11:50 my time to text him. I texted him ';goodmorning baby i love you i wish you luck in class today'; he texted back and said '; thank you i love you'; I sent him one last time saying ';I love you to, i want my boyfriend back. Thats all iv heard from him today. Its now 2:45pm my time.





    I feel my heart is breaking. Every few mins i get all teary eyed. Iv been crying alot and trying to find ways to just reach out to him and to let him know im still here and that i stand by his side no matter what.





    I wanna send him an email about how im feeling and make it a very heart touching letter. Iv tryed talking on the phone with him about how i feel and what im going thought, but i get all choked up and i just lose my track of mind. I cant reach out to my ';boyfriend';. He is not acting himself.





    I just need advice on how to make a really good touchy letter and how to start it off and how to end it. Its the only way i can get it all out there for him without texting all of it.





    I love this man with all my heart and i know we can make it though this. Ill be starting my classes up for Ultrasound Techanican in Jan. So we wll both be very busy with me going to school and him with his business.





    We know we are soulmates. We are very connected. I know he feels the same. I trust him 100%! No doubt in my mind he is the one for me.





    Has anyone else been thought something like this before? and if so how did you handle all of it?





    I just need really good advice on how to deal.





    Thank YouWarning: Very Long: Business, Love, Long Distance Relationship..... Need advice badly on how to deal?
    im sorry i jsut have this feeling that he is getting to know someone else ,i think you should suprise him and go see him face to face you will know whats up, also back off a bit and have him reach out to you, i think your pushin a bit to hard, heop it works out for you, dont write him a letter you keep telling him the same things and he's acting annoyed

    Long Distance Relationship Need Advice!?..?!?

    Ok well my long distance boyfriend just recently visited me and he returned home today, causing me to bawl my eyes out (after he left my town last night), and again tonight after i had dinner. The next visit for us would be sometime in June 2008 possibly, about some 5 months and 3 weeks away...





    Anybody have any ideas of things I/we can do to make that time fly by?


    Thanks in advance.Long Distance Relationship Need Advice!?..?!?
    Well since we talk i think you got it down..Since you guys talk on aim and play web games together..Well i think maybe talking on the phone more if he gets the chance and watch movies or shows(i love doing this with my bf).... I think maybe just emailing and talking will make time go by cause once you stop thinking about the time and just enjoy talking to eachother the time will go by fast believe me...Long Distance Relationship Need Advice!?..?!?
    is it possible to use a web-cam? if so, then you to can stay in touch and even see each other!
    Hi... I know it must be quite hard. Aside from the standard fare like YM, email, etc. here are some stuff you can do to help make things seem better.





    1. Play games. I don't mean like fool around, but games that will make the wait bearable and a bit more fun. For example, both of you get a table calendar and every day of the 5 months and 3 weeks, write one thing you love about each other. For example December 30, Sunday. I love how you try so hard to cook for me even when you're bad at it. Do it everyday, and when you see each other, you can read what the other person wrote.


    2. Make a scrapbook. Whenever you miss him, work on the scrapbook and channel your emotions creatively. Design your photos and write down lyrics of your fave songs, jot down how you feel, etc. This way, you let it out in a healthy way and when he gets back, you can give the scrapbook to him when to remember you by when he goes away again.


    3. Encourage each other to keep busy. What I mean is, while you're not with each other, take it as a blessing in disguise: you both have more time for yourselves. Use this time to make yourselves better persons. For example, if you've always wanted to take up dancing, sign up for classes. He can coach a little league team while he's away. You know? Little things that you can do, hobbies or interests that you can pursue and be better at, some ';Me'; time. This will make you feel better about yourself and enable you to use what time you would've spent moping and sulking into productive time.


    4. Reach out to others. You and your boyfriend love each other, but there are other people in your lives that maybe you have not been as close with as with each other. Reach out to family and friends that you would otherwise not have gotten/kept in touch with if all your time was spent together.


    5. Make your ideas concrete. For example, you both know why you're holding on despite the difficulty: ';We have faith in each other,'; ';You're the only one I want to be with,'; etc. And the comforting thoughts like ';It's not gonna be like this forever.'; Write down these thoughts on posters and put them up on your bedroom walls as reminders.





    So that you will never forget. :)
    keep effective communication.
    Damn! Well, lemme tell you a little story! I just got out of a 17month long distance relationship. I honestly thought I was going to marry that person. But, it is DAMN HARD!!! I don't think it's impossible, but it's HARD!!! The way we kept it going for such a long time was due to communication, honesty, and trusting one another. There really is no ';MAGIC'; thing that makes ';time fly.'; I wish you the best of luck!
    stop wasting time...and find a real person
    i'm in one right now. i talk to him every day on my messenger and i gave him my phone number so he calls me like 2 a week. maybe this will work for u.
    this is why i don't recommend long distance relationships. Absence makes the heart grow a little to fond for some people.
    my daughters had a long distance boyfriend for a couple years, she sees him about 3-4 times a year for a few weeks at a time, she lives in wa. he lives in az. they talk on the phone a lot. things are going ok for them, they hope to eventually move to pa. where he lived previously. work and college keep my daughter busy when they're apart...
    get out that relationship unless you think it is a match made by God.
    write letters!! that way you have something to keep...make a scrapbook out of the letters or keep them somewhere special so you can go back and read them whenever you miss him.





    i've also heard that WebCams are good for keeping in touch.





    To make the time pass, don't dwell too much on how much you miss eachother. i know it's hard..been there, done that. But you have to create your own little life apart from him because if you don't you'll just isolate yourself and think about him all the time. That's not healthy. Actually, it ruins relationships. Focus on the positive.





    Hope it helps!

    In a REALLY long distance relationship....Need advice, not criticism?

    My girlfriend and I decided to stay together after I decided to move 1100 miles away from home to go to school. First off, I am 19 and she is 17. I will be finished with my degree and out of the Federal academy im attending within 4 years. She is a JR in high school. Our plan is for me to finish my schooling and hopefully take a job back in our home town ,and kick it into full swing. Its been about a month since i left, and im going to see her in a month. I plan on seeing her every 4 months or so, plus the time she will come visit here. We talk every day. Were both mature for our age and hate when we get the typical criticism of our relationship being nothing more than just ';young love';. So pretend you didnt assume that about us when you read our age, and think were older and far more dedicated than the average teen couples.


    She recently told me that she was afraid that I was going to change during our time apart, but i know im not going to. How do you see this realationship going?In a REALLY long distance relationship....Need advice, not criticism?
    I think that you have a very healthy, normal relationship. If you said that you went for your studies and didn't see her for 4 years, then I would worry. But since you see each other every few months, and you talk on the phone every day, you are on the right path. The distance will also give you more time to study and get your degree as fast as possible. As long as you love each other your relationship will stay strong and the time spent apart will be worth it because you'll get a good education and you'll be able to get married and start a family soon. Good luck :)In a REALLY long distance relationship....Need advice, not criticism?
    Keep in prospective your ultimate goal of returning to her side and hope she does too.





    It is refreshing to see that people make long term plans nowadays. LDRs are tough, the level of trust between you has really got to be very solid. 4 years is a pretty long time but I've heard of longer, my aunt and uncle being one. My aunt went overseas for her degree then work for 9 years before returning and they got married and now they have 2 children + 1 on the way so it is certainly possible!





    Things can change, being a different environment can change people no doubt. Honesty is very important and it might be fair to each other to say that you will let the other know if someonelse is 'coming into the picture' and be able to talk about it and plan what is best for both parties. If something is bothering either of you, discuss it and not let things bottle up.





    Its impossible to predict how a relationship will turn out. With perseverance and commitment I hope you guys will last through the physical separation.





    Wishing you all the best!
    anything can happen.....no one can guaranty this to both of you..
    I dated a guy who lived about that far away from me when I was 15 and he was 17. We made it work like that for 2 years, then he moved to my town and we made it work for 2 more years. our problem wasn't distance, it was the actual relationship. the key is both of you REALLY do want the same thing - and it is each other. If you have that, you can do it.
    There is a saying ';Long distance relationships are a challenge. They call us to rise above ourselves, to reach for heights we might not otherwise reach. So why do we do this to ourselves? We do it because we see the potential for love, maybe even long-term commitment. And, successful or otherwise, these relationships give us a window into ourselves. We learn the depth of our strength, the breadth of our self-reliance, and most of all, the distances we will travel for the promise of love.';





    I am in a long distance relationship and will not meet my bf for the next 2 years. Good enough you're planning to meet every 4 months. With these you guys could grow together and be more independent even without each other. If you're determine about making this relationship work, then it WILL work. When there's a will, there's a way. Even if it l takes a lifetime to be with each other. Good Luck!





    P.S. The key to a good long distance relationship? Communication.

    Im in long distance relationship... need advice, please?

    its always been long distance relationship since im in marines, and we usually have a lot to talk about, but lately it seems like we both are having a hard time finding conversation topics. in that event, i usually start telling her how much i miss her and all that, but those get old quick too.


    any advice on how to start other conversations? she doesn't like talking about my days and stuff, cause she doesn't like that im in Marines. maybe some fun questions to ask, or sweet comments that she will like? any advice on how to keep the fire going, thanks so much.Im in long distance relationship... need advice, please?
    The old I miss you, I love you does get rather boring after a while.





    You obviously need a few good topics to discuss, so try and watch the same movies/tv programs and then phone each other after wards and discuss it.





    You can get the same book and read it. It's not necessary to read it too each other over the phone, but go for it, if you like that. I just suggest you read it and then discuss what you liked/disliked about the book.





    If you like stargazing, you can of course both get binoculars/telescopes and a good starguide and then try and find the same constellations. I'll admit I've never tried it before, but it's nice knowing that no matter how far apart you are, you're actually watching the same exact stars.





    Discussing your next get-together is also a good topic. Decide when exactly it will be, where you will be going to, what you will be doing, etc.





    Also, send her a few surprise packages from time to time, and maybe put a handwritten note inside it. That will surely lead to some conversation.Im in long distance relationship... need advice, please?
    one way to converse is to share. think of, for example, holidays that you spent as a kid, what is your earliest memory, what foods? what toys? what silly or unusual things occurred? or eg: grade school experiences or books that you read or people that influenced you. memories of a special friend or family member or a special trip or the worst trip or about a pet, etc. how do you see yourself in the future as a dad and what would you be doing with your kids or what special moment have you always dreamed of. what special creative talents or athletic talents or what do you want to learn to do and why?


    write down a list of memories by using 'one word' to recall the memory. you can ask her to do that too. you will have tons to talk about. pick a book and read to each other or listen to music together. you'll be alright. pick one topic for each time you speak together. good luck and peace

    The time you spend apart will make your love grow stronger. Keep close, be open about your feelings and just think of all the positive things. NEVER think of the negative things. Count the days til you see him next not the days since you saw him :)Any advice or comfort for someone in a long distance relationship?
    Spend the time apart to think of something romantic you could do to surprise him. Maybe a surprise visit? Some personal handicraft that you could send to him? Letters could be quite romantic too.

    Any advice on how to make a long distance relationship work?

    I am going out with a guy who i have known for a year and a half, he has loved me since the day he met me and i love him, but sadly he lives 2 hours away!! Is there any advice or anything we can do or say to make things maybe a little easier? Oh and what are some cute names a guy likes a girl to call them, like he calls me babe but idk what to call him.Any advice on how to make a long distance relationship work?
    To be honest, 2 hours away is not considered ';Long Distance';. To me at least..unless your under 16 than sure its long distance. But anyway, communication is important, especially when two people don't see eachother often you have to keep talking to eachother and put more effort into the relationship.





    As for names...I call him honey most of the time, but he told me he likes sweetie more. :PAny advice on how to make a long distance relationship work?
    well a long distance relationship will be hard no matter what. 2 hours isnt to bad but yes it does suck because you cant really see him whenever you want. the only thing i can say it talk text or any form of communication you can as much as possible. also cherish every second you get to see him. trust him be true and loyal. also for names call him whatever you want babe baby hun hunny sweety etc.
    Webcam, daily phone calls. Don't do anything to get your comp or phone taken away. you should get someone to drive you out to his place, and possibly his parents can drive you back. like every 2 or three weeks. Since it is summer maybe you or he can stay acouple days at the other's house.





    as for the names:hun and sugar sound more like endearments less than pet names, baby works. Love works fairly well. Just think of something, brainstorm. Maybe something to o wit aninside joke.





    Hope it works out fine
    Call him, ';Ex-boyfriend';.





    2 hours is not far away. You could easily meet halfway if you each traveled one hour towards each other a couple times a week and got it on at a little inn somewhere.





    Use your head.

    Long-distance relationship thoughts/advice?

    Have been together: 4 years (both 21)


    Will be apart: 8 months (I graduate uni the year before he does)





    My boyfriend and I have set ground rules for when we're apart and all our values about the big issues in life match up. We've dated other people before each other and have a healthy, committed relationship now.





    Despite that, I recognize that we're both still very young. Friends who have done the long-distance thing advise me not to do it and the time zone difference will also be huge for the 8 months we're apart.





    What do you think? Any advice/tips?Long-distance relationship thoughts/advice?
    Well... if you really love each other it will work. It will be hard, and sometimes you'll feel like giving up, but you have to rememeber that you love him.


    Hm...


    Plus, if you talk it out enough, it'll work. You both want to be with each other, don't let this 8 month difference change that.





    And who knows? Maybe it'll be completely easy for you two. You've been together for 4 years, and it's going to suck being apart for 8 months, but I'm sure you could handle it.








    Edit: I'm working on a long distance thing, too. I haven't been with the guy as long as you, but I've known him for 11 months, and we started dating 3 months ago. About a month ago he moved very far away from me, and we're trying very hard to keep it up.Long-distance relationship thoughts/advice?

    Long distance relationship - need advice please!!!?

    ok I met a guy and he lives 8 hrs away, he's diff race 2 me, and he's a bit older but he's so nice, since I got back we have been talking on msn and texting. He has been sending me loads of texts saying hi thinking of u, miss u, wish u were here, cant wait till u get back, and on msn we have had a few good conversations, however last week I foned him up twice on different days when I was drunk, saying stupid things about how I loved him and wanted 2 see him, and since then we haven't spoken, I apologised but today when i texted him a few times, he ignored my texts and he's not been calling me, when he usually has been, I dont know wwhat to do cos im scared 2 loose him, ive never felt like this before, I just feel sick - please help!!Long distance relationship - need advice please!!!?
    watsup with that race thing , who givs a ****. thats not important. you know why he doesnt answer? SCARED. you showed too much love, and we guys get intimidated, he didnt see it coming and hes also scared that you begin stickin like glue.since yur developin feelings for him thats what you mightv done. dont send him texts and anything and see what happens. we DONT like females showin too much too fast and being glue sticks, just like yallLong distance relationship - need advice please!!!?
    It sounds like you came on too strong and scared the guy off. How many times did you text him today? If it was more than once, then you probably are coming on too strong still. Give him some space and don't talk to him for a few days, then call him once. If he doesn't answer, leave a message. If he doesn't call you back or doesn't talk to you, then it's time to move on.

    Long distance relationship--- some advice please!!!?

    i met this amazing guy from new york city when he was in florida for vaca. he is a great guy-- treats me like a princess, sweet, honest, good looking, has a great career, great family that i met, loves kids, he is everything i would look for in a husband some day. i'm 19, he is 23. i still have 5 years of school left (getting my master's). he will never leave NYC bc he has a great job, but i would love to live there some day. i love cities. we met a month ago, i flew to NYC 2 weeks ago to see him and now its been almost 2 weeks since i have seen him. i fell in love when i was there visiting, and he says he fell in love the first night we hung out. it hurts so bad. i miss him like crazy. we talk all the time. he said he will wait for me, however long it may be until i'm ready to move there. i just moved to florida in august though. i miss my friends n my family like crazy and now i've added him to the list of people i miss. it seriously hurts to miss so many people i love. what do i do?Long distance relationship--- some advice please!!!?
    Take it slow and make the best of every moment you get with him.


    Long distance sucks - that's for sure!





    I hope you find the answer you're looking for...good luck!Long distance relationship--- some advice please!!!?
    I agree just talk as much as possible and met when you can. Good luck.
    Stay in touch with him as much as possible,that's all you can do.
    Im not sayin ur rushin, but try not to. U dont wanna move and let go of everything uve worked hard for go because of a man. Say it didnt work out and ud dropped everything for him including ur education. Ur gonna be lookin pretty dumb. So try to finish school and if u need to later on, move there and finish in online courses. Or maybe he could come stay wit u for a while. Do wats best for u cuz in tha end thats wat matters.
    If he loves you enough you will know. I came to Australia one year ahead of my fiance and we have now been married 18 years. Go by your gut instinct
    Just try and talk to him as much as you can.. and fly up whenever possible.
    Go see him on your school breaks or invite him to you.

    Long distance relationship help/advice?

    I recently got into a relationship with this really wonderful girl. I'm in college and because of that I live about an hour and a half away from her. We see each other every weekend and we talk online every night. I'm just wanting some advice from people on how we can make sure we stay close or things to do that would be good for us when we see each other, or just general advice on long distance relationships. This is the first time I've been with a girl that has not lived in the same place as me. Advice based on personal experience would be great. Thanks!Long distance relationship help/advice?
    Hi there,





    Long distance relationships do work, as long as both people are willing to try. There are certain rules that help LDRs to stay strong and healthy.


    It is very important that you clarify from the start, what you expect from this relationship. How often will you be in touch? Is is an open relationship? etc. Making sure you are on the same page will save both of you from future drama and heartache.





    Discuss and plan if possible, when and under what circumstances you will be able to unite and live in the same area. This is will arm you with lots of patience and courage. Feeling that your LDR is something temporary, can fill you both with hope and expectations and make the time you spend apart seem less painful.





    Keep in touch every day. It doesn鈥檛 have to be a conversation for hours on the phone.





    Just remember that being apart is not always a negative thing. Not being able to be with your partner physically, can actually improve your communication with them, because you both learn to listen.





    Try to see each other as often as possible. And make sure to have a great time (no pressure!) this will keep you going and longing for those moments.





    If you want to read a few personal experiences check http://www.waiit.com/testimonials/testimonials.php?mn=tmls





    Finally one thing you need to remember is that long-distance relationships, as every other relationship, are built on faith, love and understanding. Although they need a little more effort because of the distance factor, it is possible to make them work and lead them to a very happy ending.





    One of the most important things in a long distance relationship is that the time you spend together should not feel like a vacation. It can feel like that sometimes, especially if you're actually going on a vacation. All couples rejuvenate their romances with a vacation now and then. But you have to be careful to keep the LDR itself from feeling like a vacation away from your life. In a quality relationship, each partner is part of the other's life -not a break from it. You should try to do what you used to do in your everyday life when you were not separated. That can mean going back to familiar restaurants or cooking favorite meals, maybe watching TV together or visiting friends. Remember to be relaxed and not obsess about making ';every minute count.'; Think of it as picking up where you left off, even if all you have is a weekend before one of you has to go back.








    Hope this will help





    Long distance relationship help/advice?
    I've been a long distance relationship before, and I'm still with him. If you really love each other, and can't see yourself with anyone else but her, it'll all fall into place. Yes many long distance relationships dont work, but there are many that do. You have to have constant communication. Its great you see each other on the weekends! Keep doing that! It'll work out, you just gotta have strength and faith in your relationship. Try getting a webcam, it helps. Once in a while do something cute to remind her that shes always on your mind. =] hope that helps.
    I had one long distance relationship and it was the best I'd ever had... we were so in love. Then I moved closer and it all fell apart.





    Distance skews reality. When you don't spend a lot of time together you almost always see the good. The bad gets over looked. And when it's time to be together all the time you wonder why everything isn't as great anymore.





    Just be careful and don't turn her into someone she's not in your mind
    I'm pretty much doing what you are doing now.





    Try to make the time you spend together enjoyable. Go to a concert, party or have a romantic dinner.





    I get told that long distance relationships are harder, but hey any relationship is hard. I think LDR could work out just fine, especially if you put a lot of effort into them.
    So i have done this before.... More than Once. I just kinda make sure we talked every night.. And was completely open with each other. I mean my ex Fience lived in Washington and i live in Kansas so i mean... yeah... anyways... keep seeing each other every weekend and just rely on each other to be your support. You will have a great relationship... If you want more you can email me...

    long distance relationships suck.

    if you break up, then it wasnt meant to be. if you were meant to be together than she wont mind the distance
    i have never had any good luck with long distance relationship. they just don't work sorry. i would say, next time you see here till Her you just wont to be friend because you could get heart here and it wont be Nice.good luck
    Long distance relationships never work.
    i just go out of an LDR i really loved him trust me it wont work i ve been thr for 2 yrs as time passes things get hard and lack of trust is thr...
    grow emotionally distant and just hang onto her for sex. when winter break or summer comes along go back to being her bf
    Cheat on her, she is cheating on you.
    They dont work........... Move on.....
    its not cheating if your in different zip codes
    I am currently in a long-distance relationship and I see my boyfriend every other week. It is sooooo hard! Really the best things that have worked for us are...


    1- Setting the date for the next time we'll be together and never cancelling on that. Then counting down together- knowing we will be together in 10 days, or whatever, really helps


    2- Talking every day or night at the same time. It's like a little date. We talk at five everyday right after I get out of school (I'm in law school four hours away from him), so it feels like I'm coming home to him and telling him about my day


    3- Sounds lame- but send letters in the mail the old fashioned way. I love this!


    4- Make plans for the next time you'll be together. Like what restaurant you will eat at or something.





    It sucks no matter what, but these things help :)

    my boyfriend of 2 yrs broke up with me 4 days ago. he is paralyzed and in a wheelchair. hes 31 and im 24. i loved and accepted him for him. we have never officially met bc we met off myspace but were planning on meeting in the next 2 months after he had surgery. recently he had been hanging out with his cousin a lot and it seems he brainwashed him or something. everything was good my bf got my initials tattooed and everything. we talked on the phone every minute of every day. he all the sudden broke it off the other day out of the blue. when the day before he told me how much he loved me and cared about me. now he wont answers my calls and tells me to leave him alone all the sudden and he never loved me, or cared and that this was just a phone relationship and that u cant love someone u never met, then he said he loved me at one point but not anymore, yet he told me he loved me the night before he broke it off. it doesnt make sense. we had plans to meet in like a month but he kept prolonging it bc of having surgery and being depressed about a pressure sore he had. will he ever talk to me again? will we ever see eachother?Long distance relationship need advice?
    Wow. That's really tough. I'm sorry for you. ,_, %26lt;3





    But to think about this as logically as possible:





    1) Are you sure that he wasn't deceiving you? You'd talked to him on the phone, but did you web-cam frequently? Do you know for certain that he didn't have a wife, or a family, or some other secret that he was keeping from you? As horrible as it is to contemplate, the fact that he kept postponing things might have been a bad sign.





    2) You might be right about the cousin. Perhaps he had a lot of outside pressure to pursue a relationship with someone closer and eventually buckled under the pressure, though if that's the case, he went about telling you in the completely wrong way.





    3) The fact that he's paralyzed and in a wheelchair might have him thinking that if you meet him in person, you won't accept him as well as you can from afar. It's possibly a defence mechanism - to cut you off before you can hurt him.





    Give it some time, and don't try obsessively to get into contact with him. Maybe he just needs a few days to think things through. But don't wait on him indefinitely, or you'll be setting yourself up for heart-ache.

    Advice on a Long distance relationship?

    I just got a girlfriend last week shes not my first, we live about an hour apart and she two years older than me so she can drive, we will sometimes be able to see eachother on the weekends. So what can I do to show her that I care about her when we are apart, what can I do to show her that I am thinking about her? By the way I am her first boyfriend. Thnanks. Best answer gets ten points.Advice on a Long distance relationship?
    In my opinion an hour apart is nothing (is it an hour drive, walk, public transportation ride...?)


    You can call her, talk to her online, text her, you could each travel 30 min and meet half way.


    Other than that just talk to her, tell her how you feel, ask her how she feels, you could say things like ';i miss you'; at the end of conversations or just text her randomly and say it, if she seems unsure about the whole relationship thing since your her first boyfriend and your and hour apart you could ask her what she wants from you (not in a mean way but like ';what could i do to make you happy';..etc)

    My husband and I have been in an LDR for a year and a half.. Good luck! We don't do gifts very often as we can't afford much besides the plane tickets to see each other but I am sure that he will love and treasure whatever you decide!Advice for long distance relationship?
    I think just spending time with him would be enough. I'm in a long distant relationship too... and my boyfriend came to visit me for my birthday. He didn't bring me anything, he was enough for me. I do think a scrapbook would be a good idea though. I have a small suggestion for you two as well... you should think about ';webcamming'; with eachother. :) It's really nice, and it makes up for the time you can't be with eachother, ya know? My boyfriend and I use Skype to webcam chat with eachother, and I think you can really benefit from it!
    how about engraved gold rings for the two of u??? he can wear it on a chain too or finger etc...its special and will last forever and engrave somethg sweet and sentimental for him, that he'll cherish....
    make it a surprise...he'll enjoy it a lot...give him a present too


    best of luck :)

    Need more advice please on flirtin in long distance relationships?

    live in Florida and my boyfriend lives in North Carolina. We both have busy schedules since he is an athlete and I have a baby on the way; we also bith go to school. I went to visit him this past weekend and found out that he flirts alot with the girls up there. He was hiding it and I only found out because she called his dorm room and I was suspicious as to who she was. Me and him have a two and a half year history with a couple breaks in between but supposedly wants us to get married and have a family together. I understand that we wont see each other for months at a time but does that make it ok assuming it doesnt go any farther than just flirting. Another factor to look at is the fact that I am a nude stripper and its my job to flirt and.... well I dont think I have to go into detail. But let it be known that I only do it cuz the money is good. Should I break up with him? Or should I allow flirtin to destroy the trust I have in him? HELPNeed more advice please on flirtin in long distance relationships?
    My long distance relationship makes your long distance relationship look like you two are next door from each other (I'm in California, she's in Hanoi, Vietnam).





    Long distance relationships are extremely hard to maintain. You have to have incredible amount of commitment to each other, or it will easily fall apart. My fiancee' and I could walk away form each other, and find a closer, less difficult, relationship to be in. We don't, because we love each other intensely and cannot think about being with anyone else.





    If you and your boyfriend cannot make such a commitment, then one of you will eventually cheat. Not having that regular physical contact or communication will make the third party more attractive and the eventual demise of your relationship.





    If you compromise trust and commitment in your relationship, then what do you have left?Need more advice please on flirtin in long distance relationships?
    My opinion is that you both should go your separate ways until yu at least liver in the same state. If you guys are having a baby together, then maybe you should do the right thing and be together for the baby. This is grown-up stuff here so perhaps making grown-up decisions is what is needed. If things are allowed to go on as they are, one of you will cheat and there will be no more trust...
    dump him he has been unfaithfull . You can take care of yourself obviously . He does not care or he would be in florida with you and your unborn child . Do yrslf a favor and dump him .

    Get out of it, it never works out. Just tell him your going to be seeing someone else. It may be cruel, but it'll work.
    Then break up with him, if you're sure you really want to.


    He might break it off with you, anyway. But I advise you to rent and watch a movie called, Legally Blonde.
